Share Your Orders Thread

My husband knew I really, really wanted a variable temperature electric kettle, so he gave me a budget to buy one for my upcoming birthday! Here outside Dallas we have power flickers ALL the time (at least once every two weeks) so I didn’t want to get something that had to be re-programmed whenever we lose power. I read over the reviews, took a look at a couple threads on here, and ordered a Breville, model BKE820XL, from BestBuy. Yay! I’m really excited!

The quickly approaching Fall is making me crave dessert teas all of a sudden. So I thought this would make a good opportunity to try out Della Terra for the first time, since I’ve been curious about them for a while, but never bit the bullet and did it since I don’t usually enjoy flavored tea enough for it to be worth an order purely of them.

Heard a ton about the raisin cookie one (plus I love the actual cookie~) and the other two sounded so delicious but without the regret, ha.

I went ahead and paid the $7.95 shipping, because when it’s a company I’ve never tried, I don’t want to buy $55 worth of tea… If I DO like it, then I’ll hit free shipping for any possible future orders :)

So…. I wasn’t going to buy any more tea until black friday but then, well then I saw that Frank had reblended mayan spicy chocolate chai and I’ve been missing it so much since I finished my last pouch almost a year ago. I never got around to reordering because it was in the general catalogue but then he stopped having one! So well I couldn’t miss that.

Then there was the Della Terra order. My excuse here is weaker. But seriously a 30% off code that works on try me packs? I had to go for it. I kept it to $20 including shipping though but still feeling slightly sheepish for breaking my no buy.

Someone needs to stop me! I have three orders on their way, and I placed another for a custom try me pack at Della Terra. I think I keep buying because my orders are taking so long to get here, and I have no conception of how much is coming until it’s in my face! Ha! At least one of them is expected to be here Monday. :)

I feel like that too. I placed a Butiki order (which has now arrived the other day) a Della Terra, and I’m itching to hit up David’s for a couple of mugs and Sugar&Spice, I also want to take advantage of Verdant’s blend sale, and I also want to take advantage of the free caramel matchaccino offer from Red Leaf! AAAH! XD

Thank you guys for the wonderful sales and vouchers! I’ve been dying to try the citrus vanilla spice since it came out but I waited for this sale, and good thing since you have 2 new blends now as well! I was very close to getting samples of the new hibiscus berry rose and sweet cinnamon puer, but I have so much tea i refrained… for now haha!

Our pleasure- it’s been a really fun sale to put together throughout the last month! Originally, we were going to end with our Yunnan Teas last week, but then we realized it would be fun to bring everything back to Minnesota and give folks a chance to save on blends. Hibiscus Berry Rose has been a huge hit at the tea house for the last two weeks- it originally premiered there a little while ago as one of our daily specials (cold -brewed with a splash of honey) that we had to bring back since so many people loved it. And I think everyone working at the tea house had a big mug of Orchard Spice all Friday after David finished the blend!

Do you want me to make sure either Hibiscus Berry Rose or Sweet Cinnamon Pu’er is your sample? Just let me know!

All of the sales have been so tempting! I almost ordered from the yunnan one as well for the golden fleece, but I still have lots of zhu rong to drink, and it is also amazing :) the hibiscus one sounds intriguing! And Orchard spice sounds like it is the epitome of autumn :)

And either of the berry rose or cinnamon puer would be wonderful as a sample!! Thank you so much!

I was going to start a “tea buying shame” thread, but it can go here as well! Just placed big orders with Verdant & Butiki… and I don’t get paid until the end of September… I think I have a tea dependency problem. It’s become a pattern: get stressed, buy tea, live broke. Sorry, bank account! At least I’ll have many, many choices of tea!
